Bed of Sphinxes: Selected Poems

Bed of Sphinxes: Selected Poems Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bed of Sphinxes offers a selection of poems from Philip Lamantia’s books and from recent work, representing five decades of impressive poetic achievement, from his early years of association with Surrealists-in-exile through the Beat Generation era to the present. The poems range from visionary apocalypse to a lyrical fusion with nature.

By turns nightmarish, erotic, hermetic, they create an astonishing world charged by Lamantia’s energy and imagination.

About the Author

Philip Lamantia (1927-2005) became a nationally-known poet at 15, published by surrealist magazines View and VVV. He became a major twentieth century poet, precursor to and fellow traveler with the Beat Generation. Reflecting his esoteric mysticism and use of consciousness-expanding drugs, Lamantia's poetry is considered the primary link between the European avant-garde and American counterculture.
